Taking The Biscuit

Equal Pay Day marks the day women stop earning relative to their male colleagues. This year it will fall on November 10th - the same date as the past two years.

It's time to turn up the heat on the fight for equality in the workplace, and we're taking it to the kitchen with our new initiative Taking The Biscuit!

Taking part is easy. Host a themed bake sale in the lead-up to Equal Pay Day with your colleagues, friends or family using our specially created resource pack. All donations will go towards our campaigning to end sexism in the workplace once and for all.

Introducing 'Joystick It To The Man', The Fawcett Society's very own video gaming and fundraising initiative. The idea is simple; get together a group of friends, and challenge yourselves to play video games for as long as you can, all while raising money for Fawcett. We have everything you need to get started. Find out more here!

You can now show your support for The Fawcett Society when you use Savoo Search, Save and Raise as your online shopping platform. Your efforts cost you nothing because Savoo donates on your behalf. Find out more here!

There's lots you can do to raise money for Fawcett. Whether it's hosting a bake sale, organising a pub quiz or challenging yourself to a 24-hour gaming marathon, we can support you every step of the way. Find out more here!

All of our fundraisers get a dedicated page on our website which lets them keep their family and friends updated on how much they've raised so far. Click here to find out more about setting up your own page.

The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights. If you believe in a society where no one is prevented from reaching their full potential because of their gender, join us today.

Millicent Fawcett began campaigning for women’s equality in 1866, and was instrumental in achieving first votes for women in 1918. At The Fawcett Society, we’ve continued her legacy of fighting sexism through impactful research and hard-hitting campaigns for over 150 years.

We’re delighted to have a growing number of active and effective local women’s rights meet ups, who work in the local community to enforce change and campaign on our behalf. Their work is invaluable to Fawcett.

Inspire others: Volunteer with Future Fawcett

2018 marks 100 years since women first secured the right to vote, and we're marking it by launching Future Fawcett, an education outreach programme to inspire young people through our suffrage history, and teach them about women's rights today.

We need volunteers to make it happen. Are you ready to inspire the next generation of feminists?

Don't let the clock turn back on women's rights. Donate today.

We've been fighting for over 150 years to win hard-earned rights for women living in Britain. With Brexit on the horizon, it's more important than ever that we stand together to defend them. Will you stand with us, and help end gender inequality for good?
